Lebanese Lamb Meatball and Rice Soup image

I don't know what the real name for this soup is, it was passed on to me by my mother who learned it from my Lebanese grandfather on my dad's side. It is made with Kafta; we used to purchase it at a Lebanese store, but here is a recipe to make your own: Kafta (Meatball Shish Kabobs) Recipe #238833. For the clarified butter you may use your own, but this how I make it-- Rendered/Clarified Butter (Samneh) Middle East, Palestine Recipe #322377. The soup is rich and fulfilling.

This recipe came from the TACA website and is gluten-free. It is also low in sodium. Very easy to make meatballs in advance and freeze them. Sometimes I only use half the meatballs from this recipe, and freeze the other half for another soup recipe. Great way to use the left over rice from Chinese take-out!
